Bordeaux and Bling Holiday Party Look

Hello again Angels!

Back with some more outfit inspiration for the holidays.  Our last post was oh-so-fab and didn't hold back on the glamour.  If you missed it, check it out here.
So, we wanted to be sure to follow up with something a little more tame for those social settings where you may want to dress to impress but keep it simple (read:  you significant other's boss' Christmas party!)
For this look, it's head to toe bordeaux (also known as burgundy, oxblood, etc).  Blush pairs so beautifully with this hue, so we couldn't resist topping it off with this Zara blazer.  And let's not forget the megawatt bling on the ears,  neck and in hand to really make things festive.

We would love to hear your questions and comments below.  Hope you like!
Until next time,
Happy Holidays!

Essie Set In Stones Review

Hello Angels,

I happened to see this Essie polish in Harmon's on one of many visits.  The name is Set in Stones and it is from the luxeeffects line.  It was beautiful in the bottle and I couldn't wait to get it home.  I layered it on top of an Essie nude polish to make it last longer.  Doesn't it look like an ice skater's outfit?  I believe because it had another color to adhere to it went on easier and wore longer.  This combination lasted seven days without a single chip.  DO NOT wear this if you do not want attention.  it is definitely a conversation piece LOL.  This polish is sold at your local Harmon and Target.

Nicole by OPI's Love Your Life

Hi Angels!


I just tried Nicole by OPI's Love Your Life.  This clear color with a very slight pink hue contains rainbow glitter and small shiny pink hearts.  I bought it on a whim at my local target because it looked ao cute and decided to give it a whirl.






I layered it over Essie nail polish in Blanc (2 coats) after letting it dry for about 10 minutes.  The polish is a bit on the thicker side and getting the hearts to lay on takes a little bit of work but once on they compliment the underlying shade beautifully. With patience I managed to get about 4 hearts on each nail.  I finished with a clear top coat, the fast drying kind since I have several layers of polish on and voila!  A springy romantic manicure for the girly girl in each of us with eye-catching details done in minutes.  Happy polishing!!!
